Can You Determine If You’ll Have a Girl Or a Boy Baby Based on Family History?

I often get correspondence from couples who are trying to conceive a boy or a girl baby but who are concerned about their family history getting in the way of this. For example, I sometimes hear from couples who want a daughter but are in a situation where one of them comes from a family of only boys. Or, girls run in the family, but the couple wants a boy baby instead. People often worry that if one gender runs in their family, then they are destined to have the same. I don’t buy these theories at all. I believe that it’s totally possible to influence and hopefully to chose your baby’s gender. I’ll tell you why in the following article.

Why Both The-Mother-To-Be And The Father-To-Be Influence Their Baby’s Gender: Most people have heard that a baby’s gender is determined by the man or father-to-be. And, this is mostly true, but it doesn’t tell the entire story. Yes, which sperm chromosome end up fertilizing the egg determines if you have a boy or a girl. Men contribute both X (girl) and Y (boy) sperm chromosomes. Women contribute only the X’s. If you end up with an XY, then you get a male baby. If you get an XX, then you have a female baby. You can’t determine or control which chromosomes a man releases. However, you can have some control as to how welcoming you make your reproductive tract for each of these sperm chromosomes as they make their way to the egg.

Do Some Men Only Produce Sperm Chromosomes That Result In A Certain Gender? I often have people write me and ask if it’s possible that their husband only produces one of the sperm chromosomes. For example, I’ll sometimes hear from a woman who has only conceived boys say something like “my husband must only produce Y or boy chromosomes or at least he must produce these in greater numbers. Or, I’ll hear things like “the men in my husband’s family must only produce girl producing sperm since they only have daughters.” These are very common perceptions, but clinical studies have indicated that this isn’t likely to be true.

There’s a recent Australian study which tested the sperm of men who had previously produced three babies of the same gender. For example, men in the study had produced at least three girl or three boy babies. The scientists tested the semen to see if the men who had sons would have more Y’s or if the men who fathered girls had more X’s. The study noted that the only difference noted was a difference in the volume of semen. There was no great statistical difference in Y sperm in the men with many sons, nor did the men with many daughter’s have great statistical differences in the amount of X sperm. In the end, the scientists concluded that a family history of sons or daughters can not be explained by the ratio or X and Y sperm chromosomes in the father’s semen.

The Ways That Women And Their Family History Can Influence Baby Gender: Since we’ve looked at the fathers, let’s now also look at the mothers. While the woman doesn’t provide the X and Y sperm, she does provide the reproductive tract and this, in my opinion, can make a big difference. A women with an acidic reproductive tract is said to be more likely to conceive a girl baby. The reason for this is that Y or boy sperm are compromised by an acidic environment but thrive in an alkaline one. So, when women tell me that girls run in their family, I suspect that they might be acidic. When they tell me that their side of the family has boys, then it’s logical to think that the women in the family trend alkaline.

You can easily test this theory with PH litmus strips. If it turns out that I’m right, you can change your PH. If boys run in your family but you want a girl, then you’ll need to become more acidic. If girls run in your family but you want a son, then you’ll likely need to make yourself more alkaline. You can do this with douching, with diet, or with both. You can also tweak your timing and the sexual positions that you use. These are two others things that can also influence baby gender when they are done correctly.
